BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/09/2019

Brian has bad news to impart and Ed holds out an olive branch.

Ed’s decided to sell a promising-looking Texel ram. Eddie suggests keeping it for breeding, but Ed wants the money now to support the children. He’s disappointed when the lamb only fetches one thousand pounds. Later, he tells Emma he’s put the money from the sale in their joint account to help with the kids. He offers to give her some money he has spare, but she refuses to take it. 
Brian has bad news for David about Crowthers: investing in the abattoir would be too risky. Surprisingly, though, Justin seemed very interested on a personal level. Brian thinks it may be worth David having a word with him.
Peggy’s still reeling from Joy’s visit when Kate returns, full of the joys of spring. She had a very successful night at Jakob’s, meanwhile Peggy couldn’t get a word in edgeways with Joy. Peggy admits defeat: she’ll have made a miraculous recovery next time Jakob comes over. Kate’s good mood is dampened when she discovers Jakob will be spending a month in Sweden with family and leaves on Friday. Clearly they’ve nothing in common after all.
Brian fills Eddie in on his chat with Martyn Gibson. Martyn thinks Will’s an excellent gamekeeper and has no reason to sack him. Eddie accepts that it’s a decision Will needs to come to himself.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
